: In the current period marked by the need to address a number of economic and social challenges in the context of the sustainable development of towns and municipalities, the issue of the regeneration and reuse of brownfields is a topic that can help find an effective solution on the local, national and international level. The aim of this article is to assess the use of tools in the process of the regeneration of brownfields on the territory of municipalities with extended competence in the Czech Republic. The information contained in this paper was compiled on the basis of a primary survey. It was found that the highest number of abandoned buildings and premises are located in regions which were focused on industrial and mining activities in the past. Furthermore, the authors found that brownfield sites have been regenerated and reused successfully in the territory of the Czech Republic. Based on the relevant survey, the most frequently used financial tools employed by municipalities with extended competence (MEC) for the regeneration of brownfield sites in the last 10 years included municipality budgets, European subsidy programmes and national subsidy programmes. According to the survey, nonfinancial tools used for the successful regeneration of brownfields included own activities and support from the CzechInvest agency. The motives of municipalities and towns located in the territory of individual MECs in the relevant country included mainly a new use of buildings (the rescue of historical buildings/premises and unused industrial parts of a village/town) in the territory of the MEC. The results of the article also highlights the regional differences of the studied area in the case of the existence and use of various financial and non-financial instruments in the process of brownfield regeneration in individual MECs in the Czech Republic.

: The number of river floods has increased worldwide, as well as in Nakorn Ratchasima Province in Thailand. To prevent disasters, the R oyal I rrigation D epartment (RID) constructed thirteen regulating structures to control discharges. Currently, the local controllers spatially control these structures to minimize the subsystem's damage, regardless of the effects on the overall system performance. In this study, the concept of combining real-time flood management tools and the cascade M odel P redictive C ontrol (MPC) as well as application of GIS has been proposed and verified with the 2013 flood event. The distributed control of the existing hydraulic structures on the large scale of the Lamtakong River made optimal use of the retention basin storage capacity with the considerations of both local performance and global system interactions. The model proposes an optimal gate opening of each cascade at the specified time, from the beginning until the end of flood hydrographs. The results of the controlled water level indicate the efficiency of the CMPC, which is more satisfied satisfactory than the PID and practice technique of RID, as evidenced by the water level of 0.5 m that is lower than the level of the riverbank at Nakhon Ratchasima City. A comparison of flood areas between the historical flood in year 2013 and Management by CASCADE MPC shows by GIS flood map that in the case of Management by CASCADE MPC, it can reduce the flood area in Nakhorn Ratchasima city by almost 60%.
